Institutional Furniture

UL provides furniture performance and durability testing, chemical and emission testing, flammability testing and GREENGUARD Certification for education, healthcare and institutional furniture. Our comprehensive suite of services help our customers demonstrate compliance with General Services Administration (GSA) and a variety of purchasing guidelines. GREENGUARD Certification was recently named by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as an approved eco-label for government purchasers. Ninety-five perfect of all federal purchasing must be environmentally preferable, and GREENGUARD Certified products help meet that criteria.

Our detailed assessments help detect variances and defects at critical checkpoints throughout the supply chain, from top-of-production (TOP) inspections and in-process quality checks (DU PRO) to packing and loading inspections. We can help determine risk before production begins with factory capability and social compliance offerings. And our trusted reputation adds a key differentiator that’s respected by institutional furniture buyers.

Around the globe, UL works to help customers, purchasers and policymakers navigate market risk and complexity. UL builds trust in the safety, security and sustainability of products, organizations, and supply chains – enabling smarter choices and better lives. In all we do, we apply science and expertise to enable the responsible development, production, marketing and purchase of the goods, solutions and innovations of today and tomorrow.
